Not a lot new today, but some cute pictures anyway. Evia had to have some hair shaved to get an IV in her scalp. The IV is keeping her hydrated and providing her nutrients while she ramps up her milk intake. She gets about 7 ml of milk every 3 hours and she is digesting that completely. As her milk intake increases, her IV will provide less and less nutrition, and can be removed.
These pictures don't give you much of a sense of scale. She's small. Weighing less than 4 pounds today. My hand covers her whole torso. Another thing you can't tell from the pictures is how active she is. She kicks and stretches and wiggles all the time. No wonder Autumn kept me awake every night. Pregnancy is probably hardest on the dads.
